YAY!! I will check these out when I get home from work this evening!!

I also forgot to add that these episodes are only like 20-30 minutes total. The only episode I have re-watched so far that is longer than that is the season 3 finale which is about 40 minutes I think. So yeah, Megavideo shouldn't cut you off :)

going to watch them right after supper thanks for the links :)

Do you subscribe to MegaVideo?

Me? No, I didn't even know you could! lol

I think you can and then you can watch stuff without it getting terminated after, hmmm, what was it? An hour and twenty-seven minutes? It was some crazy number. You could only watch a certain time length of videos off of there. If this is the site you used for the Dead Alive movie...

Alright, I'm off to watch the first one. We'll see if I can get to the second one today or not.

YAY! :D Come back after so we can talk! I have so much to say especially about the 2nd :D

its easy to get them both in becca they are well under the 72 min time restriction unless you already watched some megavideo today,

but here is the thing with megavideo you can go back after an hour and watch another 72 mins I think they put there for children so they didn't have eye strain or some silly rule like that...lol

HAHA!! The cryptkeeper is hilarious!! And I liked Talbot's hat.

That was a pretty interesting episode. I recognized Sadler instantly but the credit "Bill Sadler" threw me off for a moment. I remember him from when he was on Roswell a few years back (and a few other movies).

I just looked up Sadler's filmography on IMDB and was shocked to discover that he played the Grim Reaper on Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (not a great movie story-wise but still good for a couple laughs). I guess with the white body paint and shaved head, he didn't look anything like himself.

hah I recognized him from Roswell too! I loved that show! :D I didn't like the first episode at first honestly, when I first got my DVD's - it felt kinda boring but after seeing it a few more times it's definitely amazing! It's simple, has a hidden message, AND he talks to the camera which is rare! :D

That is rare. I thought he did a pretty good job in that episode.

I decided to go ahead and watch the second one and I am almost done. I am the part where the...




**SPOILERS**





...mom is locked in the closet and the little girl is leaning out the window urging "Santa" to hurry up to her. "Watch out, Santa. Don't slip!"









**SPOILER OVER**

I was surprised to notice that two (at least) of the crew members were also responsible for the making of The Polar Express. Two very different holidays stories!!

And, GOODNESS!! That woman can scream!!

haha IKR! And All Through the House is definitely my favorite of season 1, and probably in my top 10s ever! It's a really good episode, and I'm a big sucker for Christmas horror. IDK why, those two do not go hand-in-hand at all!

You are so right on that!!

That was one creepy Santa, too!! Heck, the cryptkeeper made one creepy Santa!!

I think it also had some funny lines in it too, great episodes you picked...:)

We're doing them in order, right? Do you guys want to finish all of Season 1? You only have 4 episodes left! And then next week can start with Season 2, 2 episodes?

That works for me, but I won't be watching anymore tonight. It's almost bedtime for me. But I am anxious to watch more. They are getting to be addictive...

That was your plan all along, wasn't it, Heather?! To recruit fans to your TftC?! HAHAHA!! You have excellent taste in horror movies/television shows!!

yea that sounds good too but I too have to head off to bed got to work tomorrow but as soon as I am done work I will check in to watch the rest of the season.

So, I've been wondering. Would this still be a "re-watch" party (for me) if I've never seen the whole series from start to finish (only one or two episodes)?

No, I guess not. Maybe I should rename it to just 'watching' party! Links for the other season 1 episodes will be edited into my first comment! :D

YES!! I can't wait!!

Wait a second!! That icon on my question comment up there was supposed to be the mischievous icon. I hope you didn't think I was mad at the title of the forum.
